Answer:

x = - 5

Explanation:


- 2(x - 2) - 4x - 5 = 29 \\ \therefore \: - 2x + 4 - 4x - 5 = 29 \\ \therefore \: - 2x - 4x + 4 - 5 = 29 \\ \therefore \: - 6x - 1 = 29 \\ \therefore \: - 6x = 29 + 1 \\ \therefore \: - 6x = 30 \\ \therefore \: x = (30)/( - 6) \\ \huge \red { \boxed{ \therefore \: x = - 5}}
